How to use Jackson to deserialise an array of objects

Question

The Jackson data binding documentation indicates that Jackson supports deserialising \"Arrays of all supported types\" but I can\'t figure out the exact syntax for this.

Answer 1

try {
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    JsonFactory f = new JsonFactory();
    List lstUser = null;
    JsonParser jp = f.createJsonParser(new File("C:\\maven\\user.json"));
    TypeReference> tRef = new TypeReference>() {};
    lstUser = mapper.readValue(jp, tRef);
    for (User user : lstUser) {
        System.out.println(user.toString());
    }

} catch (JsonGenerationException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JsonMappingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
